Reference help needed

Panzer Dragoon
1

I was wondering if anyone would by chance happen to have nice detailed pictures of the Panzer Wing dragon? In particular from all sorts of angles.

I need it for a study for… something. ^^;

Thank you in advance!

There’s one in the lower left hand corner of this image that might help you with your ‘study’:

Yeah, I couldn’t find many images of the PDS dragons myself when I was after them, and I don’t think the Panzer Wing appears in any of the game’s FMV sequences (which would make it easy for anyone to grab good images of it). The only illustrations I’ve seen of that dragon are from Lagi’s site:

. . . and I’m not 100% sure the second one’s meant to be the Panzer Wing. Anyhow, I was taking some PDS screenshots for something earlier on today, so I grabbed a few images of the Panzer Wing as it appears in-game. It’s a pretty basic 3D model, but I thought it might be of some use:

(They’re shots from the GiriGiri emulator, so there’s a bit of texture distortion in places . . .)

Atolm, you could also turn on Orta and have a look at the in game model of the Panzer Wing from Pandora’s Box (if I still had my Orta save file, I’d take a screenshot, but alas it’s only about 2 hours into the game…). Lance’s pictures give you some pretty good views of the dragon from different angles though.

Thanks for the pictures! I am sure they will be a great help.

And Solo, I have thought of that but my TV is small and a long distance from my Computer. =)

There’s also this one here…

There should be a full size picture floating around on the net somewhere, although if it’s not on Lagi’s site I don’t know where it’d be.

The gallery on the Panzer Place has a load of images, although I’m not sure if the Panzer Wing is amongst them.

I hadn’t noticed until now, but I suspect that Panzer Wing skin is actually an Eye Wing skin; there’s a larger version of that image on The Art of Panzer, but if you compare that dragon’s wing patterns and tail to the dragons shown on the official wallpaper, I’m pretty sure it’s the Eye Wing:

Hmm, yeah looking at it more closely, the smaller details do suggest that it is of the Eye Wing, rather than the Panzer Wing… good observation!

Yeah, I wish they also put a description in illustrated creatures as well as having it available in boxgame. If you look at the Blue Dragon in boxgame, it’s skin texture is very plain so it reminds me of play-do? or blue-tak? heh.

! @ Solo

Smaller details?!

Well, at first glance that differences aren’t that noticeable…

The Eye Wing’s “eye” patterns are also much more noticeable in the game, than on that art image.

The tail is the biggest of differences.
